I love to bow hunt, and have for the last 26 years. I still love it and plan to keep bow hunting, particularly for elk and some deer. However, I voted for gun. Out west, we are able to have many more hunting opportunities if we are not too picky about our weapon type.

Spent my first 13 yrs of my hunting career in Illinois where I was exclusively a bow hunter. I still take 1-2 animals each year with a bow, but I look forward to those mountain and prairie rifle hunts every fall. I prefer to carry a rifle for spot and stalk spring bear too.
